And then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the Daffodils...

Some white Luuurve...Red and yellow, kinky fellow...;-)Friends we are forever... A walk in paradise...

A pink world...Let me outta this car...cos it's time to hit on the hunks!

You guessed it right. We drove to Canberra yesterday...twas a day's trip and as usual, we went to check out Floriade (read and see pics of my earlier posts on this annual Tulip festival atFields Of Heaven and Thumbelina For A Day) and took my aunt and uncle to the usual tourist spots in the nation's captial (War Memorial, Parliament, Telstra tower, Botanical gardens etc etc...I've been to Canberra a zillion times but I can never get enough of it's beauty and grace). On the way, we also stopped at Berrima Church and had brekky there. It's one of my fav spots in NSW. So here are some pics from the entire trip...but I can't put up all pics due to strict censorship regulations. ;-) What I want to portray from this post is that simple pleasures are the real joys in life...such as a lazy Sunday morning at the gardens, watching people sing and dance, smelling the flowers, eating ice-cream, smiling at a stranger, talking to someone from the other side of the country, sipping coffee with your loved-ones, dipping your toes in the water, watching how a stuntman performs with joy to earn his daily bread, sending a flying kiss to a Kangaroo (which I really did while he/she was looking at me in awe), overtaking a HUGE truck on the highway realising it's no joke LOL!, standing in front of Mother Mary and asking her if she can see me and my blogger friends all around the world doing their usual thing and getting on with life no matter what...enjoy and have a great week ahead mah baby jellybeans, I love you more than I can say MWAH!

Sounds like someone had good fun and I have not seen a real kangroo in real life either. Not that I regret so much =)

Hey I should not be saying this, but still, the picture where the four of you ladies were sitting, I just could not help but keep staring at the bust wondering where the head went? coz you cut off the head from the picture. Why Kesh?

omg... ive never ever seen a real kangarooooooooi wanna see one NOW! HAHA OK OK done being a baby!awesome pictures.. they look like fun animals. ooo tulip festival, my sister loves tulips. pretty flowers... ure right, there's nothing like the simple pleasures - even watching tv or just sitting out on the porch sipping ure lemonade or iced tea and enjoying the breeze... love doing that!!!life is all about the simple pleasures cause well trying to make it grandiose takes too much work and doesnt always end up like u wanted to..

Hi,Keshi...seems like a hoppin' good weekend..:)Would love to try out hopping with those carefree kangaroos one of hese days.You're soo right- the simple pleasures of life are always the best and are free.I just to go and sit in a garden and admire the greenery around..it has such a serene effect. But,that happens once in a while,of course.

"but I can't put up all pics due to strict censorship regulations."..what's that about,I wonder?Did you click where it was not allowed?Or,is it something like HNKs?Or...(See,never arouse curiosity by such comments-else,explanations are demanded.grin)

hey keshi- bugger the lovely photos - I love leo sayer!!!!!!!!!! You need a big picture of him there!!!! ;). That really is one of the prettiest songs ever.And thanks again for your kind thoughts over at my place.

I didn't go to Camberra... I had heard it was boring but I guess it's a stereotype ! :D

I can never get sick of these cute kangaroos... even though there're not that pet in OZ, I know ;)

I just moved to Wordpress on a new domain BTW... I imported my blogroll so you're over there. If you could update your link to my blog that would be great, since I'll be closing the Blogger sooner or later...

u can if u want to :) But this group of dancers were mixed Aboriginals (mixed white Aussies). The real aboriginals r dark in complexion and r a treat to watch when they play the didgeridoo and do their native dances.

A Bosnian couple are getting divorced after finding out they had been secretly chatting each other up online under fake names.

Sana Klaric, 27, and husband Adnan, 32, from Zenica, poured out their hearts to each other over their marriage troubles, and both felt they had found their real soul mate.

The couple met on an online chat forum while he was at work and she in an internet cafe, and started chatting under the names Sweetie and Prince of Joy.

They eventually decided to meet up - but there was no happy ending when they realised what had happened.

Now they are both filing for divorce - with each accusing the other of being unfaithful.

Sana said: "I thought I had found the love of my life. The way this Prince of Joy spoke to me, the things he wrote, the tenderness in every expression was something I had never had in my marriage.

"It was amazing, we seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriages - and how right that turned out to be.

"We arranged to meet outside a shop and both of us would be carrying a single rose so we would know the other.

"When I saw my husband there with the rose and it dawned on me what had happened I was shattered. I felt so betrayed. I was so angry."

Adnan said: "I was so happy to have found a woman who finally understood me. Then it turned out that I hadn't found anyone new at all.

"To be honest I still find it hard to believe that the person, Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things to me on the internet, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years."

The current perception I get from the evening news is that the world is dominated by human failure, crime, catastrophe, corruption, and tragedy. We are all tuning in to see how the human mind is evolving, but the media keeps hammering home the opposite, that the human mind is mired in darkness and folly.Deepak Chopra - Media - Failure - Negative

To have passion, to have a dream, to have a purpose in life. And there are three components to that purpose, one is to find out who you really are, to discover God, the second is to serve other human beings, because we are here to do that and the third is to express your unique talents and when you are expressing your unique talents you lose track of time.Deepak Chopra - Life - Passions - God - Skill - Time

About Me

Music seems to adore me as it keeps reaching my ears...guitars and cars...friends I cannot be without...poems, life, ocean, people...these are some things I simply love. This is my personal e-diary...if anything I blurt out here hurts anyone, my sincere apologies in advance. What I write here are my deepest thoughts that I hardly discuss with people close to me in real. These are my conversations with my mind and the walls who sometimes have better listening powers than humans. But ofcourse I value everyone's views and I intend to grow from them, so you're most welcome to express yourselves here.
Life is too short so I try to 'live' longer every day...and yes one day at a time.
Knowledge is power hence people have been the source of that power in me...I thank them always.
